Chapter 1 Introducing FeedClip
26 Digital News Production
Working in Shared or Local Mode
You can use FeedClip either in shared or local mode:
• Shared mode uses a shared media database. All Digital News Production
workstations access the same bins; the bins are locked so two editors can’t
make changes to the same file at the same time.
• Local mode uses your computer’s local disk storage and a local media
database. Each FeedClip workstation has its own Bin on the FeedClip
machine, and cannot share the Bin. In order to use someone else’s files, you
need to import them.
You can change modes from the General Options menu; see “Setting General
Options” on page 88 for instructions.
FeedClip indicates your current mode at the top of the window.
You record and play back media in FeedClip the same way regardless of what
mode you are working in. The main difference is that your Bin is shared, and
all editors using a Digital News Production workstation have access to the same
media files you do.
